The investigators drove her to Leavenworth Street in San Francisco. The girl was asked to identify any of the houses that she had been to before. While walking past 2430 Leavenworth, the girl identified the house as the one where she met “Mikey” and “Shamby.” It was the Aquinos’ house.
A search warrant was served on the Aquino home on Aug. 14. In attendance were agents from the FBI and the San Francisco Police. Because the abuse allegedly occurred on city property, it was to be a city case.
Among the items seized were video tapes, cassette tapes, notebooks with names and addresses, two photo albums one paper plate and two plastic gloves from the kitchen garbage, four plastic cases of negatives and 29 photos of costumes and masks. With his widow’s peak and arching eyebrows, Lt Col. Michael Aquino looks more like a pudgy Dracula than a high ranking Army officer with top security clearance. He is the founder and high priest of a satanic church, the Temple of Set. His wife, Lilith, a gaunt woman with long, dark hair, is a priestess in the temple’s Order of the Vampyre. The couple refer to the search as a “raid” and have branded the investigation a witch hunt.
“The Army has known about my religion for the last 18 years and has no problem,” Aquino told me in a telephone interview late last year. “Not one single person in the US. Army, with the exception of the chaplain, would have the remotest notion that I would be involved in anything like this.”
A group of parents contends as many as 37 children may have been sexually abused at an Army day-care center, and officials say at least two children have been infected with a sexually-transmitted disease.
Presidio spokesman Bob Mahoney said Monday that more than 60 children have been seen at the Army’s Letterman Hospital in recent months after their parents reported they have been be victims of sexual abuse at the center, which cares for 250 children daily.

I haven't heard that about JE, but about Steven S. the director. Nasty, nasty rumors about him and the blonde girl from Poltergeist....
Heather O'Rourke. She died very young -- only 12 years old -- from what was supposedly an intestinal blockage. Given what we know now, I doubt that's what really happened.
Supposedly, that "intestinal blockage" was a result of what they did to her. All hellywood rumors, of course. But intestinal rupture more like it.

I bet Elon Musk could fire 80% of Twitter's workforce, and none of the Twitter subscribers would notice any difference in their daily Twitter experience.
Same with the bloated Federal Government. Keep the people who are not furloughed during shutdowns, and fire the rest.
I just had a long reply typed to this, then somehow lost it all. Damn.
Quickly now...
On your first point, one of my closest friends owns a company that’s contracted by some of the tech giants along the lines of whom you named. I’m being very careful with my words here. He himself is a recognized prodigal genius in his field and likely the only person with his skillset that these companies ever utilize. They seem to trust him immensely and he has witnessed many things that an outsider who is less valuable to them probably would not have seen.
And according to him, that number of useless fluff workers is closer to 99.5 percent.
Myself, I’m recently-retired from the federal government. I’d say your 80 percent guess is correct. I met some useless federal humans at offices all over the world, and I was perplexed at how they were hired, let alone still employed. The only rational— yet not ethical— explanation I could think of was that politicians’ relatives couldn’t land a job elsewhere and were given the roles as favors.
I’ll never forget being left alone for the first time at a certain gigantic DoJ administrative building. I was led to a huge room with archived paper files (this was decades ago) to search for what I needed. I was told that I should go to the “super-elite” internal secretary office if I needed anything. I was told the smartest and most resourceful people were there, but to be extra polite if I needed anything because they were always so busy.
I found myself working with my files just outside of that office. I spent about two days at the project tables directly outside of it. The women inside never knew I was there.
I heard zero productive activity of any kind. What I did hear were endless hours of talk about fictional soap operas mixed in with who’s having an affair with whom within the building, graphic sexual stories, and more. Those were allegedly the best of the best of “competent” secretaries, paid with US taxpayers’ money.
Poorly Conceived Ministry of truth Put on Pause
In a statement on Wednesday, the Department said that “the Board has been grossly and intentionally mischaracterized: It was never about censorship or policing speech in any manner. It was designed to ensure we fulfill our mission to protect the homeland, while protecting core constitutional rights.”
